IMO olive skin is very fair skin that is not ruddy/ pinkish and is found in Southern europe, west Asia, north African and the levant. It tans well and most people with olive skin look brown during the summer if they live in a place with a lot of sun. This is what I would consider olive skin:



It could also be described as very light brown, I guess. It could be also described as white since it is a very fair skin tone untanned.

Imo that man's skin is light brown and that woman's skin is white, olive is not even a term I use for skin colours though so idk.
